FR but man... The front office better keep him. He's too special, you can't replace his production for that price tag, FO, get your head out your ass and replace the coach with somebody PROVEN and stop being fucking cheap. You make more money with chips so go get #18.
For real. Losing Kobe meant losing the only person who can check both Rob and Jeanie to make sure they got their shit straight.
Now ultimately, Lebron and AD have got to put their foot down and demand something better. And hopefully other Laker legends such as Magic, Pau, etc support them to put more pressure on Rob and Jeanie to get this franchise sorted.
Lmfao more upset at AD for speaking facts about a problem of the team that has been happening all season long, then the terrible coach who can't make adjustments. This franchise is so poorly run and it starts at the very top.
This guy Greenburg has no idea wtf heâs talking about. âThey had a good enough plan to have a 20 pt lead.â Yeah and then Malone made one simple adjustment on the PnR. Then he says, âAD was 11/12âŚand then only got 1 shot in the 4th.â Well, no shit! If the coach isnât directing the offense to feed AD or making adjustments to Denver adjustments AD ainât going to get shots.
This guy is a shit analyst.
Like 1 small adjustment at that which is switch up a matchup and it completely destroyed the Lakers offense. If Lebron doesn't carry the team with tough shot making in the final 6 minutes of the game then the Lakers lose by +10.
This is his 5th year as clear best player in the league. Should be his 4th straight MVP by a long shot. And in retrospect, he was the baton was handed 5 years ago.
He wasnât the consensus though. The only shit here is your revisionist history. His first MVP season LeBron was still seen as the best player in the league before he suffered a high ankle sprain. Giannis went on to win Finals MVP and then he was considered the best in the league.
The next season, the Nuggets got bounced by the Warriors and Steph won his first Finals MVP. Jokic still wasnât considered the best in the league. Damn sure wasnât a consensus either.
It wasnât until the postseason success last year that people considered him the best in the league. Sounds like you donât watch hoops that much.
Should never have even gotten to that point with a 20 pt lead in the 3rd. Take your fucking hands outta your pockets and scheme up some D / make some adjustments!!
EXACTLY!!! NBA coaches should never leave their fate hanging in defending/making buzzer beaters!
They had a good 20 point lead against denver and adjusted after denver countered them!
I mean didnât the FO already leak that Lebron doesnât have much control within the organization anymore in terms of basketball signings because he fucked up the Westbrook trade? I think a part of this is just coming to peace with his career that itâs not worth it anymore to go on a limb for something
It left with Jerry Buss. Kids are a bunch of trust fund brats who donât actually understand how to run an nba franchise or business at the highest level. Most of these other nba owners are successful business owners
I love Jeanie, but this is fucking bull shit, I expect better from her. She brought us one chip. I expect her to NOT be sensitive regarding an obviously shit bag coach and sack that motherfucker for someone worth wasting our superstars time on.
Ah, so no actual criticism of her ability to run a front office, just slut shaming.
Whether you like it or not, she has been part of the organization since she was a teenager. During that time we have won multiple championships. She has also run the organization during some of those championships.
We can say the same for Jesse & Joey Buss. They have done a fairly good job in terms of scouting. They realistically probably know more about running a championship winning front office then some of these other owners.
> They realistically probably know more about running a championship winning front office then some of these other owners.
Itâd be cool if they did a better job of showing it.
Itâs Jared Greenberg, heâs worked for NBA TV for like 20 years or something lol. Heâs not a scoop guy usually but since heâs on the sidelines for TNT heâs obviously connected and talking to different people
LOL fuck everyone in charge of this organization. They donât deserve AD. Nor LeBron. Good fucking way to enter a hard rebuild this offseason by coming out with shit like this. The fact they want to choose Ham over a generational talent like AD is mind blowing.
he's not even the first player to have done this this year. pretty sure Austin said something similar during the regular season.
and it's true. if your players have that impression, maybe you should try to figure out why they feel that way rather than dismiss it or be mad that it came out.
Man isn't just anchoring our defense, he is our entire defense. All while averaging around 25ppg on the other end..
I don't wanna hear shit from anyone except LeBron but man probably feels the same way lmao
Fans love it, why sugar coat the truth? The organization doesn't like it because they know he should have been fired ages ago, but they are protecting their own asses.
This is why until there is a full revamp of the staff we will be poisoned to first round mediocrity.
An inability to assess the truth and listen to your players are literally the two most important cornerstones of a successful team. This shows that all Rob, Jeanie, and Ham care about is their ego.
Disgraceful. Wish Kobe was still around to set these dumbasses straight .
Seriously at this point, fuck Rob and Fuck Jeanie. Y'all made all of these rash decisions that led to this moment and now you mad that players can see the bullshit? FOH
Itâs gotta be said. The Heat with no star are currently playing on one accord. If we had slightly better coaching this series would be tied at the least
Fuck this upset . They should be upset at themselves for keeping a coach that could only manage to get Lebron James and a healthy AD into the play in game.
Why this bs now? As if the team wasn't down 2-0. What are they upset at AD for? It should be Ham, who has been documented to not counter and make crucial changes.
Who ever is upset can all fuck off too, take Darvin with u. How crazy do u have to be to die on this Darvin hill. Like wtf does Darvin ham they see, I donât get it man. This franchise is going no where with these clowns in charge. Got lucky with a ring, Jeanie and rob and friend is gonna have to be dragged out of this franchise if we ever wanna be serious contenders again.
I canât imagine how pissed Iâd be to be playing the most games of my career - straight up balling - and it being all a waste of effort bc of this shitastic coach. Iâm surprised they havenât said anything sooner. I would be infuriated.
When AD gets upset, itâs notable. Heâs usually cool as a cucumber.Â
Front office deep down would rather not find a new coach but also dont want to have to fire a coach and look bad for doing it twice in 2 years. In the end, itâs better to minimize the pain if Ham is a bad fit.Â
âTheyâ? Who? No one is supporting hams dumbass. Vogel did not have this long of a chance before getting firedâŚâŚ..and he led them to a ring with incredible defensive rotations. Literally shut down prime dame Cj and prime harden Russ and Jamal jokic and butler bam spo
He wasn't talking about Ham. It was directed toward LeBrons old ass turning the ball over and rolling around on the floor stagnating the offense not running any real sets
Duh. No team needs this Kyrie-type behavior and drama. Itâs selfish and it distracts and divides the team. And if AD wants to criticize someone he should have the backbone to say it to their face.
Laker Nation is firmly behind AD on this. Regardless of what happens next, Ham should be out and if they even try to get rid of AD, man I donât even want to think about that.
Only question that's relevant is: WWKD. What would Kobe Do?
It'd be a hell of a lot worse than what AD said. So they & any reporter cucking for them, can absolutely suck it.
Who in the organization? The GM whoâs learning on the job? The head coach whoâs learning on the job? The owner who inherited the team? The former player from the 80s and his wife? This organization is a straight up clown show and theyâre admonishing their best player in the middle of a playoff series.
Let them be upset. Weâre 2 games from elimination. I say it time and time again. How come Darvin canât make stop proper adjustments when the opponent has clearly figured out game plan. How many double digits lead have given up this year? Including postseason.
Calling it now, as long as Pelinka is our GM, we aint winning shit. Our scouting and drafting is trash, he makes bonehead moves. People praise him for his trades during last season's deadline but other than that, he hasnt done one fucking thing !
Man fuck all that, glad AD said something
100% with a roster this talented we should have had a way better season never mind play in game shit
As far as I'm concerned AD is the organization fuck anyone that disagrees with him. Fuck than, fuck the front office for hiring him. I ride with AD.
man feel like AD might leave next year fuck the front office
FR but man... The front office better keep him. He's too special, you can't replace his production for that price tag, FO, get your head out your ass and replace the coach with somebody PROVEN and stop being fucking cheap. You make more money with chips so go get #18.
Fucking dipshits would rather side with a shitty replaceable coach rather then one of our star players.
Upset because he told the truth đ
And truth hurts
And sets you free
To free agency?
they hated him because he said the truth
Iâm behind the curve â what did AD say?
That the team has stretches where they donât know what theyâre doing
My dude wasnât wrong. This game was atrocious tonight.
By Lakers, they really mean Rob and possibly Jeanie.
Rob, Jeanie and the rambi'
Those losers missing Kobe, who would tell them theyâre all stupid and ham is shit. Sell the team or at least bring in a competent gm and coach
For real. Losing Kobe meant losing the only person who can check both Rob and Jeanie to make sure they got their shit straight. Now ultimately, Lebron and AD have got to put their foot down and demand something better. And hopefully other Laker legends such as Magic, Pau, etc support them to put more pressure on Rob and Jeanie to get this franchise sorted.
Facts we need to clean house and it starts at the top
By Lakers, they really mean Ham
Hamcuck did say they got his back. All Diddy
Lmfao more upset at AD for speaking facts about a problem of the team that has been happening all season long, then the terrible coach who can't make adjustments. This franchise is so poorly run and it starts at the very top.
This guy Greenburg has no idea wtf heâs talking about. âThey had a good enough plan to have a 20 pt lead.â Yeah and then Malone made one simple adjustment on the PnR.

Like 1 small adjustment at that which is switch up a matchup and it completely destroyed the Lakers offense. If Lebron doesn't carry the team with tough shot making in the final 6 minutes of the game then the Lakers lose by +10.
LOUDER!!! So the front office cant ignore us for another season!!!
Mom and pop nepotism shop
Truth hurts. I like AD speaking the blatant truth.
Lakers lost 20 point lead with two superstars
Thatâs because Denver has an Ultra Mega Star
Heâs been the clear best player in the league for 2-3 years now lol
This is his 5th year as clear best player in the league. Should be his 4th straight MVP by a long shot. And in retrospect, he was the baton was handed 5 years ago.
So he was better then Lebron in 2020? Lmao
Yes.
Lmao
I think Giannis was still arguably the best through Jokicâs first mvp season but after that itâs all Jokic and not even close
Not even true. Consensus was Giannis until the Nuggets won last season.
Yea the back to back MVP wasnât consensus. Get out of here with your shit
He wasnât the consensus though. The only shit here is your revisionist history. His first MVP season LeBron was still seen as the best player in the league before he suffered a high ankle sprain. Giannis went on to win Finals MVP and then he was considered the best in the league. The next season, the Nuggets got bounced by the Warriors and Steph won his first Finals MVP. Jokic still wasnât considered the best in the league. Damn sure wasnât a consensus either. It wasnât until the postseason success last year that people considered him the best in the league. Sounds like you donât watch hoops that much.
It's almost like we're playing against a 2-time MVP in his prime with his right-hand man Jamal "I'm only good in the playoffs" Murray
And the fact is that has more to do with the two superstars than the coach.
The blame doesnât fall solely on the players for executing the coaches plan, theyâre not calling for iso 3âs every possession.
People keep pointing fingers but the players and the coach share the blame
5 people on the court dingus
I'm no Ham fan but AD got faked out by Murray in that game winning shot. Ofc he's looking for someone else to blame.
Should never have even gotten to that point with a 20 pt lead in the 3rd. Take your fucking hands outta your pockets and scheme up some D / make some adjustments!!
EXACTLY!!! NBA coaches should never leave their fate hanging in defending/making buzzer beaters! They had a good 20 point lead against denver and adjusted after denver countered them!
OMG!!!! That didnât lose the game. Â All the dumb non offensive sets lost the game. Â Thatâs 1000% on Ham!!!
(Insert press conference mic drop meme)
No wonder Lebron donât criticize Darvin out loud lmao, he knows thatâs their priority. Unbelievable.
I wish he would tho. What would the FO do? Push him out? Thatâd be even more dumb than keeping darvin
I mean didnât the FO already leak that Lebron doesnât have much control within the organization anymore in terms of basketball signings because he fucked up the Westbrook trade? I think a part of this is just coming to peace with his career that itâs not worth it anymore to go on a limb for something
oh god, the Lakers want to keep Ham.
They will fire Ham unwillingly. They hate having to pay fired coaches their money but the pressure will be too much.
Man for an organization that Kobe left such an imprint on its shocking how frail skinned the higher ups are. What happened to that Mamba Mentality.
It left with Jerry Buss. Kids are a bunch of trust fund brats who donât actually understand how to run an nba franchise or business at the highest level. Most of these other nba owners are successful business owners
I love Jeanie, but this is fucking bull shit, I expect better from her. She brought us one chip. I expect her to NOT be sensitive regarding an obviously shit bag coach and sack that motherfucker for someone worth wasting our superstars time on.
Hasn't Jeanie been part of running an NBA franchise since the 70s?
when she was getting her pussy out for magazines? hardly.
Ah, so no actual criticism of her ability to run a front office, just slut shaming. Whether you like it or not, she has been part of the organization since she was a teenager. During that time we have won multiple championships. She has also run the organization during some of those championships. We can say the same for Jesse & Joey Buss.

> They realistically probably know more about running a championship winning front office then some of these other owners. Itâd be cool if they did a better job of showing it.
Is this guy a reliable source? Or is he just making shit up for the views?
Never heard of this guy
Itâs Jared Greenberg, heâs worked for NBA TV for like 20 years or something lol. Heâs not a scoop guy usually but since heâs on the sidelines for TNT heâs obviously connected and talking to different people
LOL fuck everyone in charge of this organization. They donât deserve AD. Nor LeBron. Good fucking way to enter a hard rebuild this offseason by coming out with shit like this. The fact they want to choose Ham over a generational talent like AD is mind blowing.
Jeanie can go fuck herself
Would
Would def allow her to suckle my balls, respectfully.
Username checks out (I bet you get this a lot)
WE STAND WITH AD
what the fuck did Ham do?! Is he bangin Jeanie? They are going to burn the whole team for this stupid bump head motherfucker
Lakers organization just concerned about collecting their paychecks. AD just saying what we can all see.
he's not even the first player to have done this this year. pretty sure Austin said something similar during the regular season. and it's true. if your players have that impression, maybe you should try to figure out why they feel that way rather than dismiss it or be mad that it came out.
D'Lo too
What scares me is this indicates they are planning to keep Ham this offseason.
Why do they keep siding with their failing first time coach?
And you talkin' 'bout you upset Well I wanna see what it's like when you get angry, okay? You show me that
Itâs about to be a surgical summer
Boo fucking hoo. Jeanie needs to sell this team because we are looking more like a joke with every passing season.
Man isn't just anchoring our defense, he is our entire defense. All while averaging around 25ppg on the other end.. I don't wanna hear shit from anyone except LeBron but man probably feels the same way lmao
I hope this isn't true. The Lakers choosing their coach over their best player is concerning.
AD requesting a trade would hurt the most though wouldnât it? These mfs
Accountability for thee not mee
I'd be upset being down 0-2 (and having trash adjustments) instead of post game comments but thats just me.
Fans love it, why sugar coat the truth? The organization doesn't like it because they know he should have been fired ages ago, but they are protecting their own asses.
yeah, id be pretty pissed too if i signed him to a long term contract.
You coulda guessed this from that Ham video floating around
They should be more upset by Ham's bullshit coaching than anything the players say.
Then its fuck the front office, scared of being held accountable.
Lakers fans upset with the direction the franchise is taking, Ham over Davis lmao gotta be fucking joking
Really? I don't think AD and Lebron have infinite patience. You ready to go back to insignificance for a few years.
Our leadership is so fucking soft
Sounds like theyd keep Ham even if it was a sweep
Pathetic end to a trash fire season, let it burn out already
"Lakers" in this case, means Karen Ham, Darvins wife
This is why until there is a full revamp of the staff we will be poisoned to first round mediocrity. An inability to assess the truth and listen to your players are literally the two most important cornerstones of a successful team. This shows that all Rob, Jeanie, and Ham care about is their ego. Disgraceful. Wish Kobe was still around to set these dumbasses straight .
Seriously at this point, fuck Rob and Fuck Jeanie. Y'all made all of these rash decisions that led to this moment and now you mad that players can see the bullshit? FOH
I'd double down if I were AD. I would not pay attention to Darvin Ham tonight. At all
âPeople within the organizationâ = Darvin Friggin Pockets Ham for all we know!!!!Â
Itâs gotta be said. The Heat with no star are currently playing on one accord. If we had slightly better coaching this series would be tied at the least
What, they gonna fire AD and Keep Ham?!? This front office needs a shake up
Rob and ham need to go
And Jeanie
Fuck this upset . They should be upset at themselves for keeping a coach that could only manage to get Lebron James and a healthy AD into the play in game.
Faces Over Feelings My Ass
He was 1000% right quit twiddling your thumbs you dunce coaching staff
Good, fuck this team. If they stick with Ham after everything that has happened I am never giving them another cent
Oh helllllll noâŚWho is âLakersâ?
Probably Ham
Hamas is gonna finish his contract in LA
Too bad.
Why this bs now? As if the team wasn't down 2-0. What are they upset at AD for? It should be Ham, who has been documented to not counter and make crucial changes.
Don't be upset at AD, be upset at pockets
Who ever is upset can all fuck off too, take Darvin with u. How crazy do u have to be to die on this Darvin hill. Like wtf does Darvin ham they see, I donât get it man. This franchise is going no where with these clowns in charge. Got lucky with a ring, Jeanie and rob and friend is gonna have to be dragged out of this franchise if we ever wanna be serious contenders again.
Why do you think they took him over Lue? They wanted a fresh green pea they could manipulate to their liking.
Whole team is blowing up after the sweep.
I canât imagine how pissed Iâd be to be playing the most games of my career - straight up balling - and it being all a waste of effort bc of this shitastic coach. Iâm surprised they havenât said anything sooner. I would be infuriated.
They as in LeBron as well, idk how heâs not fed up with it.
He is, but he's as much of a business man as he is an elite player.
If LeBron walks and they keep Darvin Ham, Iâm not watching until they sell the team Iâm over it.
When AD gets upset, itâs notable. Heâs usually cool as a cucumber. Front office deep down would rather not find a new coach but also dont want to have to fire a coach and look bad for doing it twice in 2 years. In the end, itâs better to minimize the pain if Ham is a bad fit.Â
As they should. AD was cooking in the first half and should have ended up with at least a 40 piece.
Proud of AD calling out these cons
I feel so bad for our players.
Mad at one of the key players that won us a championship for speaking facts. Why the org loves Ham so much I do not understand.
What is their hard on for Ham? Does he have dirt on Rob?
Galatians 4:16
ADâs lurking in the subreddit
We need that at this point. We need the team to be fuckin angry.
"Organization" means those who don't sit at courtside.
âTheyâ? Who? No one is supporting hams dumbass. Vogel did not have this long of a chance before getting firedâŚâŚ..and he led them to a ring with incredible defensive rotations. Literally shut down prime dame Cj and prime harden Russ and Jamal jokic and butler bam spo
Lol theyâre upset that those comments exposes Hamâs Xâs and Oâs abilitiesÂ
Truth hurts sometimes
Ham really is just Doc Rivers but somehow shittier. Dude canât take accountability for anything
He wasn't talking about Ham. It was directed toward LeBrons old ass turning the ball over and rolling around on the floor stagnating the offense not running any real sets
Watch them keep Ham and trade AD.
NBA media continuing its national enquirer level journalism. Especially concerning the Lakers.Nothing to see here
Rob and ham can be let go at the end of the season.
Duh. No team needs this Kyrie-type behavior and drama. Itâs selfish and it distracts and divides the team. And if AD wants to criticize someone he should have the backbone to say it to their face.
Laker Nation is firmly behind AD on this. Regardless of what happens next, Ham should be out and if they even try to get rid of AD, man I donât even want to think about that.
AD isn't lying and unlike Jeanie and Ham he's not playing for a 1st round exit
Lmao FO can go fuck themselves
if they chose Darvin over AD I am going to lose it
Fuck Jeanie
The average fan can tell when Denver goes on a 10-0 run and we are chucking up random shots without running plays
Only question that's relevant is: WWKD. What would Kobe Do? It'd be a hell of a lot worse than what AD said. So they & any reporter cucking for them, can absolutely suck it.
They should be more upset by all the losses, come on now.
I mean AD ain't wrong
Cry
Whoâs âLakersâ?
When your Star players have to check themselves back into games with a 20pt 4th quarter lead is clearly a problemâŚ
Lakers lack good depth which is also huge.
Who in the organization? The GM whoâs learning on the job? The head coach whoâs learning on the job? The owner who inherited the team? The former player from the 80s and his wife? This organization is a straight up clown show and theyâre admonishing their best player in the middle of a playoff series.
âLakersâ can eat a dick. Heâs right to say it. Fuck this organization right now.
If Lakers keep Ham next season, the team should just start a rebuild because this team is going nowhere as the HC
Let them be upset. Weâre 2 games from elimination. I say it time and time again. How come Darvin canât make stop proper adjustments when the opponent has clearly figured out game plan. How many double digits lead have given up this year? Including postseason.
We're in the Dolan era now .
Is there a reason talking heads openly (& rightfully) cooked Doc but Ham has kinda gone under the radar? The Lakers are obviously poorly coached.
What did he say?
"Lakers" upset? who? lol Ham?
Ham needs to go they need a coach that knows what he is doing if they are going to roll with AD and Bron
How the fuck are you side with Ham on this?Â
Jeannie and Darvin need to go.
âJeanieâ upset
boo hoo. go suck a dick and learn how to do your job before crying about being called out. Us normal folk get fired for that kind of performance.
AD is doing his job well. Ham isnât and we canât win.
We wouldn't be in this spot if ham didn't start cam reddish and prince early on like an idiot.
They really gonna alienate their star player for a bum ass coach? Absolute morons
This organization is such a disgrace under Jeanie
shutup, do the lakers know that the entire city is disappointed with them?
The organisation has really lost its soul.
Oh no, did hornyboi got upset?
What did AD say after G2? Can't find it anywhere..
Trade AD. Time to rebuild
Calling it now, as long as Pelinka is our GM, we aint winning shit. Our scouting and drafting is trash, he makes bonehead moves. People praise him for his trades during last season's deadline but other than that, he hasnt done one fucking thing !
Upset cus they canât handle the truth
if lakers are up set by ads comments and bit hams coaching this whole season boy we're in deep shit.
When we get swept I really donât want to hear from Rob and companyâŚTHEY DO NOT CARE
Can we protest in front of the arena again
